Cost of a 1915 Cracker Jack Set
Posted By: nbrazil
I am currently collecting a T206 set, but am pondering about getting into another pre war set. I've narrowed my focus on the 1915 cracker jack set. But, I'm not sure if i have the moola to start collecting these two prestigious and high in demand sets. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure of how much it would cost to put together a PSA 2-3/SGC 20-40 cracker jack set minus the joe jackson? |

Quick estimate for a PSA 2 set would be around $18,000 - $22,500. |

In contemplating something like starting the 15' CJ set I believe that looking forward to the finish line is anti-productive. |

I went after the set for a while but lost steam. I may try again though. My guess for a VGish set (sans Jackson) would be about 22-27K (maybe a bit more for a true PSA/SGC 3 set). There are 30+ HOFers in the set, plus some desirable non-HOFers such as Wood, Gandil and Cicotte. The Cobb and Wagner would go for 2K or so each. Then Johnson, Matty and Alexander are in the 1K range. Next tier is Plank, Lajoie, Speaker, Comiskey, Rickey and Marquard (desirable horizontal). Then there are the rest of the HOFers and the 140+ commons. I did not get far enough to know if there are any premiums on "tough" commons, but I am sure there are a few which could further raise the price. |

I really doubt you fin Johnson or Rickey in the G-VG range for $1k or less. Myguess would be more like $30-35K. Matty in G maybe $1500-1750. I turned down $1400 for my SGC 10 Matty in my store just because it looks VG with writing on reverse. Wagner I would guess more like $3k range. |

...is that you can lose your way and spend money on other sets. If you're intent on completing T206, I would advise completing that one before starting on others. Otherwise, you just end up with a couple of started, partial sets. |

For the past year I took a base set I had of about 75 cards and went nuts. I only need 5 cards to complete the set they I will work on ungrading. |

If you do decide to tackle this set, have fun! I love these cards. Topps came out with a set in 2004 that gave similar appearance to the Cracker Jack cards. I figured I'd jump into a modern set and put it together in no time. However, my favorite part of putting that set together was pulling an actual 1914 Cracker Jack from a pack. Good luck with whatever you pursue! |

One of my favorite sets as well. I am currently work on my second set all SGC graded, so I have some first hand knowledge on building a mid grade SGC set as well. I am third on the SGC list right below Jerry. I do have about 40 more cards I still need to get graded and or crossed. |

I became enamored of the '15 set about three years ago, and vowed to collect it in its entirety. At some point about six months ago, I lost a bit of steam on the commons, and decided to collect without preference for the '15s versus the '14s. It's a long haul, I can tell you, so it's not just a matter of the money.....even some of the 'commons' will set you back a bit and are tough to obtain. |
